“4K vs 1080 I’m debating whether it’s worth having a 4K TV or a regular 1080, I have Cox and I believe there is not any 4K programming yet. I know it’s suppose to make regular shows look better but I’m skeptical, I noticed this TV uses 132 kilowatt hours or 120 kilowatts on the 43 inch Sony vs. 90 on the Samsung 4K so is it that big of a difference or does it not really matter. I don’t know, my 40 inch Sony is 8 years old and is fading away and I really need a new one. I have a PS4, WDTV, Blu Ray player and the cable box so 4 HDMI is all I need. I appreciate any comments. Thanks.”

in my humble opinion i absolutely think it's worth it to upgrade to a 4K tv. i have just done this and immediately can tell the difference in picture quality (4K tvs have 4x the pixels of regular 1080p). this is my 1st 4K tv purchase and think this tv does a great job with up-converting. even watching a DVD essentially being unconverted by the BluRay player for HD, then being unconverted again by the TV for UltraHD looks pretty good. i too was skeptical about making the jump, but now i'm a believer. cheers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I love the 4K. My old Visio was "ghosting", but not withstanding that, there is a big difference in the picture. We bought the Sony 4K, 48.5 inch. More vivid colors, sharp detail - almost looks 3D.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, i just recently bought a Sony 4K television and i have to say that it does look brilliant. I swapped out a 9 year old Sony Bravia and there is a diffrence, i think the television looks much more vibrant and sharper. But the bigest readon i bought this was mainly because my almost 10 year old LCD ran very warm and would make feel like a sauna. These new tv's run so efficient now its amazing. They release virtually no heat at all and it keeps my room cooler during my PS4 marathons. I also use it mainly to stream movies and play PS4 games the Witches 3 looks amazing so does the latest Batman. You are right there isnt much in the way of content for 4K's yet but netflix does have UHD streaming albeit not much, but the future looks bright. hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased my first 4K tv, and I think it is worth it. I really like the TV, the display is excellent. 4K TV is the wave of the future and I think that it is important to embrace this technology... more and more carriers are working to accommodate 4K TV. Netfix as well. You can't go wrong with this Sony TV. When I tell you it is a work of art... it is awesome!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes buy it if you haven't already. You will be future proof. Who wants to keep buying a new TV down the road. If the TV is on a big sale get it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Technof, thank you for your message. A High Definition TV with 1080p resolution is composed of two million pixels (1920 x 1080), while a 4K TV (aka Ultra High Definition) has over eight million pixels (3840 x 2160). Therefore, 4K has around four times more resolution than 1080p and produces a clearer picture. I kindly share with you a link with all the specifications of the TV: https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/XBR49X830C_mksp.pdf. - Oscar.
